Commodity trading operates on a simple principle - “Price is a function of Demand
and Supply”. This makes things really easy to understand and exploit.

Portfolio diversifier
Commodity Futures derive their prices from the underlying commodity and commodity
prices cannot come down to zero. Commodity has a global presence and hence, it's
a good portfolio diversifier.

Extended trading hours
Indian commodity market operates works 14 hours a day covering timings of all major
international commodity exchanges, thus giving traders sufficient time to earn profits.

Option of trading in Demat form
Now, no one does not need to hold commodities physically in warehouses. Now-a-days
depositories offer to hold your commodities in a Demat form.

What are the Advantages of Commodity futures?
A Futures trading eases the hassles and costs of settlements and storage for traders
who do not want custody. The most lucrative element of futures trading is that it
allows investors to participate and trade at nominal costs.

Traders no longer need to put the whole amount for trading; only the margin is required.

Traders can short sell and profit from falling prices.

people – thus effecting a better bargain for both.

which are mainly responsible for the price aberration. This can have an indirect
effect on the reduction in the price of the commodity that the ultimate consumers
pay.

do not have a sales-tax number; one can take the help of Our Platform.

The process

Farmer/Seller bring his goods to the warehouse

The stocks are assayed – Quality checked and the goods weighed

If the quality is validated, the warehouse receipt is issued

The seller goes to the designated Spot Exchange member with the receipt and a limit
is opened for the quantity to be traded on the Exchange

Once the transactions are completed at the mutually agreed price between buyer and
seller, the delivery and settlement aspects are done as per rules of the Exchanges.

Benefit

Access to larger number of buyers throughout the country: thus increasing not only
his reach but also his bargaining power. The farmer won’t be at the mercy of a few
influential traders in the locality

Accurate, transparent, online information of prices: without risks of manipulation

for the buyer. It will help generate interest for big players like Corporate, exporters,
who would be interested more in the quality aspects. Delivery assurance to buyers
can attract bigger players into the market as there will be no counter party risk
in the trading system. Possibility of huge volumes of trade can also be a positive
factor for the large players

Equity

Investing in shares or stock market is inarguably the best route to long-term wealth
accumulation. However, it can also be a very risky proposition due to high risk-return
trade-off prevalent in the stock market. Hence, it is more appropriate to take help
of an experienced and trustworthy expert who will guide you as to when, where and
how to invest.

DerivativesOverview

The derivative segment is a highly lucrative market that gives investors an opportunity
to earn superlative profits (or losses) by paying a nominal amount of margin. Over
past few years, Future & Options segment has emerged as a popular medium for trading
in financial markets. Future contracts are available on Equities, Indices, Currency
and Commodities.

Sri Sairam Groups with its membership as Trading and Clearing Member of NSE F&O
Segment and Trading Member of NSE CM provides you a gateway to the exciting world
of derivative market.

What are Derivatives?

The term "Derivative" indicates that it has no independent value, i.e. its value
is entirely "derived" from the value of the underlying asset. The underlying asset
can be Securities, Commodities, Bullion and Currency, Livestock or anything else.
In other words, Derivative means a forward, future, option or any other hybrid contract
of pre determined fixed duration, linked for the purpose of contract fulfillment
to the value of a specified real or financial asset or to an index of securities.
With Securities Laws (Second Amendment) Act,1999, Derivatives has been included
in the definition of Securities. The term Derivative has been defined in Securities
Contracts (Regulations) Act, as:- •a security derived from a debt instrument, share,
loan, whether secured or unsecured, risk instrument or contract for differences
or any other form of security; •a contract which derives its value from the prices,
or index of prices, of underlying securities.

What is a Futures Contract?

Futures Contract means a legally binding agreement to buy or sell the underlying
security on a future date. Future contracts are the organized/standardized contracts
in terms of quantity, quality (in case of commodities), delivery time and place
for settlement on any date in future. The contract expires on a pre-specified date
which is called the expiry date of the contract. On expiry, futures can be settled
by delivery of the underlying asset or cash. Cash settlement enables the settlement
of obligations arising out of the future/option contract in cash.

What is an Option Contract?

Option Contract is a type of Derivatives Contract which gives the buyer/holder of
the contract the right (but not the obligation) to buy/sell the underlying asset
at a predetermined price within or at end of a specified period. The buyer/holder
of the option purchases the right from the seller/writer for a consideration which
is called the premium. The seller/writer of an option is obligated to settle the
option as per the terms of the contract when the buyer/holder exercises his right.
The underlying asset could include securities, an index of prices of securities
etc.

Under Securities Contracts (Regulations) Act,1956 options on securities has been
defined as "option in securities" means a contract for the purchase or sale of a
right to buy or sell, or a right to buy and sell, securities in future, and includes
a teji, a mandi, a teji mandi, a galli, a put, a call or a put and call in securities.

An Option to buy is called Call option and option to sell is called Put option.
Further, if an option that is exercisable on or before the expiry date is called
American option and one that is exercisable only on expiry date, is called European
option. The price at which the option is to be exercised is called Strike price
or Exercise price.

Therefore, in the case of American options the buyer has the right to exercise the
option at anytime on or before the expiry date. This request for exercise is submitted
to the Exchange, which randomly assigns the exercise request to the sellers of the
options, who are obligated to settle the terms of the contract within a specified
time frame.

As in the case of futures contracts, option contracts can be also be settled by
delivery of the underlying asset or cash. However, unlike futures cash settlement
in option contract entails paying/receiving the difference between the strikes price/exercise
price and the price of the underlying asset either at the time of expiry of the
contract or at the time of exercise / assignment of the option contract.

What are Index Futures and Index Option Contracts?

Futures contract based on an index i.e. the underlying assets are the index known
as index futures contract. For example, futures contract on NIFTY Index and BSE-30 Index.
These contracts derive their value from the value of the underlying index.

Similarly, the options contracts, which are based on some index, are known as Index
options contract. However, unlike Index Futures, the buyer of Index Option Contracts
has only the right but not the obligation to buy / sell the underlying index on
expiry. Index Option Contracts are generally European Style options i.e. they can
be exercised / assigned only on the expiry date.

An index, in turn derives its value from the prices of securities that constitute
the index and is created to represent the sentiments of the market as a whole or
of a particular sector of the economy. Indices that represent the whole market are
broad based indices and those that represent a particular sector are sectoral indices.
In the beginning futures and options were permitted only on S&P Nifty and BSE Sensex.
Subsequently, sectoral indices were also permitted for derivatives trading subject
to fulfilling the eligibility criteria. Derivative contracts may be permitted on
an index if 80% of the index constituents are individually eligible for derivatives
trading. However, no single ineligible stock in the index shall have a weightage
of more than 5% in the index. The index is required to fulfill the eligibility criteria
even after derivatives trading on the index have begun. If the index does not fulfill
the criteria for 3 consecutive months, then derivative contracts on such index would
be discontinued.
By its very nature, index cannot be delivered on maturity of the Index futures or
Index option contracts therefore, these contracts are essentially cash settled on
Expiry.

What is the structure of derivatives markets in India?

Derivative trading in India takes can place either on a separate and independent
Derivative Exchange or on a separate segment of an existing Stock Exchange. Derivative
Exchange/Segment function as a Self-Regulatory Organisation (SRO) and SEBI acts
as the oversight regulator. The clearing & settlement of all trades on the Derivative
Exchange/Segment would have to be through a Clearing Corporation/House, which is
independent in governance and membership from the Derivative Exchange/Segment.

What is the regulatory framework of derivatives markets in India?

With the amendment in the definition of ''securities'' under SC(R)A (to include
derivative contracts in the definition of securities), derivatives trading takes
place under the provisions of the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956 and
the Securities and Exchange Board of India Act, 1992. Dr. L.C Gupta Committee constituted
by SEBI had laid down the regulatory framework for derivative trading in India.
SEBI has also framed suggestive bye-law for Derivative Exchanges/Segments and their
Clearing Corporation/House which lays down the provisions for trading and settlement
of derivative contracts. The Rules, Bye-laws & Regulations of the Derivative Segment
of the Exchanges and their Clearing Corporation/House have to be framed in line
with the suggestive Bye-laws. SEBI has also laid the eligibility conditions for
Derivative Exchange/Segment and its Clearing Corporation/House. The eligibility
conditions have been framed to ensure that Derivative Exchange/Segment & Clearing
Corporation/House provide a transparent trading environment, safety & integrity
and provide facilities for redressed of investor grievances. Some of the important

the legal counterparty to both or alternatively should provide an unconditional
guarantee for settlement of all trades.

The Clearing Corporation/House shall
have the capacity to monitor the overall position of Members across both derivatives
market and the underlying securities market for those Members who are participating
in both.

The level of initial margin on Index Futures Contracts shall be related to the risk
of loss on the position. The concept of value-at-risk shall be used in calculating
required level of initial margins. The initial margins should be large enough to
cover the one-day loss that can be encountered on the position on 99% of the days.

In the event of a Member defaulting
in meeting its liabilities, the Clearing Corporation/House shall transfer client
positions and assets to another solvent Member or close-out all open positions.

The Clearing Corporation/House should have capabilities to segregate initial margins

What derivatives contracts are permitted by SEBI?

Derivative products have been introduced in a phased manner starting with Index
Futures Contracts in June 2000. Index Options and Stock Options were introduced
in June 2001 and July 2001 followed by Stock Futures in November 2001. Sectoral
Indices were permitted for derivatives trading in December 2002. Interest Rate Futures
on a notional bond and T-bill priced off ZCYC have been introduced in June 2003
and Exchange Traded Interest Rate Futures on a notional bond priced off a basket
of Government Securities were permitted for trading in January 2004.

What is the eligibility criterion for stocks on which derivatives
trading may be permitted?

A stock on which Stock Option and single Stock Future contracts are proposed to
be introduced is required to fulfill the following broad eligibility criteria:-

The stock shall be chosen from amongst the top 500 stocks in terms of average daily
market capitalisation and average daily traded value in the previous six month on

The stock’s median quarter-sigma order size over the last six

trading as soon as it becomes eligible. However, if the stock does not fulfill the
eligibility criteria for 3 consecutive months after being admitted to derivatives

What is Mimimum Contract Size?

The Standing Committee on Finance, a Parliamentary Committee, at the time of recommending
amendment to Securities Contract (Regulation) Act, 1956 had recommended that the
minimum contract size of derivative contracts traded in the Indian Markets should
be pegged not below Rs. 2 Lakhs. Based on this recommendation SEBI has specified
that the value of a derivative contract should not be less than Rs. 2 Lakh at the
time of introducing the contract in the market. In February 2004, the Exchanges
were advised to re-align the contracts sizes of existing derivative contracts to
Rs. 2 Lakhs. Subsequently, the Exchanges were authorized to align the contracts
sizes as and when required in line with the methodology prescribed by SEBI.
